(0_o I thought this died...)

 

Dichromate shrugged. "I'll just explore around. And try to stay out of trouble in the meantime." He really didn't have a plan as to what he was going t do, but he didn't look to dangerous to most ponies, and he was hoping that he could blend in.

"You too," he ordered Sunrise, who was starting to walk off, causing her to pause. "You're not goig off alone again-remember what happened last time?"

"But-"

"No buts, we don't need to draw any attention to us."

"Okay," sighed Sunrise, gloomily obeying.

A far distance away from everyone else Dusty wakes up laying on the plain ground hot, famished she gets up looking around seeing nothing but tan sand. She tries to take of but she notices one of her wings are wounded. she calls for help franticlly shouting and yelling until she gives up and starts galloping

[Firestorm 8]

(Sorry for the absence. Busy with a lot of things right now.)

 

Dusty

 

You notice a great city in the distance that has noticeable traffic going in and out of it. You can't help but smile because this is the first time after so long that you see civilization. However, the wounds you sustained combined with hunger and thirst renders you too weak to gallop for long distances. You fall onto the hot sands after a few hundred meters...and you still have a long way to go. This time, you start to wonder if that city is just a mirage. You thought you are going to pass out from fatigue and thirst until you notice somepony standing in front of you.

 

It was a pegasus filly in a light bullet-proof vest and she is smiling at you. She helps you up from the ground and gives you a dark green water canteen with the words "Blue Sky" etched onto it. She is carrying an assault rifle. You wonder if this filly is from Blue Sky or a nomadic wastelander.

 

"You alright?" she asked.

 

Dichromate and Sunrise

 

You need a place to stay and far from prying eyes. The Hierarchy Enforcers seem oblivious of your identities and it is important that they stay that way. Who knows what they will do when they find out that you two helped in the Stonewall Rebellion. Having spent most of your younger days as an underground colony dweller, your instincts direct you to the city's metro tunnels. There is a subway entrance not far from the ruined apartment complex so you descend into the bowels of the city. It isn't particularly well-lit but the diminished presence of Hierarchy Enforcers is good enough a reason for you to explore the place. The Black Market seems to flourish here and while you notice a lot of unsavory characters such as thugs, pimps, prostitutes and drug dealers walking about, they take no notice of you.

 

Besides taverns, inns and mess halls, you also notice a lot of mechanic shops and automobile factories. Parts and equipments are transported to these places via custom-made trains and there seems to be one passing by every few minutes, stopping to unload before moving on.

 

"Quite a place, don't you agree?" a shopkeeper said as you pass by his shop. He noticed that you two seem fascinated by the place. "Contrary to what most ponies may think, Adonis never extinguished life in Reino, all thanks to this metro system. It's like our lifeline you know and it holds a special place in our hearts. Princess Celestia never had enough time to order the construction of new shelters in this region so our ancestors took to the tunnels. A smart move," said the shopkeeper. "You two lovebirds looking for something? A place to stay...a hotel room?" he asked with a sly grin.

 

Nidal and Titan

 

Stripping Titan of his uniform proved to be quite embarrassing but it had to be done or the Hierarchy would notice him. He seems passive, for now, and you made it a point to remind him to stay that way. Should he raise an alarm, you will be in deep trouble. The city is big, unlike Stonewall Settlement, and finding the market isn't an easy task. You are cautious against talking to strangers as you do not know their intentions and whether or not they'll trust you. As you wander around the eastern part of the city aimlessly, you hear the sounds of powerful engines coming from a corner of a ruined office building. Moments later, a dangerous-looking dune buggy made a sharp corner and speeds towards you, barely missing you two by a few inches. After that, a whole crowd of vehicles rounded the corner. A huge variety of vehicles in fact. Never before have you seen such a sight in the East where vehicles are almost non-existent.

 

Hoverbikes, big rigs, monster trucks and big rigs, the city has it all. The RD-1 Hoverbike seems like a popular vehicle because it was light, very fast, and at the same time, durable. You see a lot of it in the city, used by both the military and civilians. After the vehicles pass by, you two cross the street and bump into an earth pony with a cartload of items.

 

"Oh, sorry miss, didn't see you there," he said in a polite manner. "You seem kinda lost. Is there anything I can help you with?"

 

Strong Hooves

 

You realize you're in some sort of city. How you got there is a mystery to you because the last thing you remember is gathering with a group of survivors of a prison ship crash. They were planning to go find a place to stay. You can't remember what happened after that. You look around and find yourself inside a cage. You're not alone though for there are other occupied cages in the cramped room that your cage is stored. Ponies of different gender, age and species are all locked up. Many of them seem clueless on what is going on while the rest look weary, scared and cold.

 

"Hey, what's the meaning of this?! Lemme outta here!" somepony shouted indignantly.

 

You notice the cage to your left is occupied by a young unicorn mare. She looks at you and forced a smile on her face though it quickly disappeared.

 

"The slavers brought in another victim I see," she said in a tired manner. "It's no use getting out of here, friend. This den is as tightly guarded as Capital Prime."

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong listened to the mare, not believing he had been captured. "Yeah, I dont plan on staying here" he said. He looked around the cage, trying to find a place that would be weaker for him to break with a well placed buck.

[Linguz 140]

Nidal looks at the man and tenses up ever so slightly. "I'm looking for the market. Any help to find it would be appreciated."

(Did this revive again...? 0_o)

 

"Oh!" Sunrise said, looking rather startled. "We're not..."

Dichromate cut her off hastily. If it makes us look less suspicious, anything goes. "Yes, do you have anywhere we could go?" he asked eagerly.
